I got laid off. May 1st was my last day after working there for almost 16 years. But, don't cry for me Argentina. The company gave me two months of insurance until I turn 65 in July and can get Medicare. I'll collect unemployment and spend the summer vacationing where I live, in Vermont. I'm good with it. I was tired and hated going to work everyday. Now I get to work on my movie podcast, play sim baseball and drink whiskey whenever I want. Life for me is a lot better than millions of other Americans.

Morbid humor is always cheerful. Besides, if I didn’t say it you know Russ would have.

She touched her finger to a digital scanner. She passed through a pair of glass doors and proceeded downstairs, to the prayer hall, where she sat with approximately 1,000 other worshippers in a large windowless room. Hours later, she exited the building and left behind a trail of pathogens that would lead to thousands of infections, triggering one of the largest coronavirus outbreaks in the world. By the end of February, South Korea had the most COVID-19 patients of any country outside China. New confirmed cases were doubling every few days, and pharmacies were running out of face masks. More than a dozen countries imposed travel restrictions to protect their citizens from the Korean outbreak, including the U.S., which had, at the time, recorded an official COVID-19 death toll low enough to count on one hand. But just as South Korea appeared to be descending into catastrophe, the country stopped the virus in its tracks. The government demanded that the Shincheonji Church turn over its full membership list, through which the Ministry of Health identified thousands of worshippers. All were ordered to self-isolate. Within days, thousands of people in Daegu were tested for the virus. Individuals with the most serious cases were sent to hospitals, while those with milder cases checked into isolation units at converted corporate training facilities. The government used a combination of interviews and cellphone surveillance to track down the recent contacts of new patients and ordered those contacts to self-isolate as well. Within a month, the Korean outbreak was effectively contained.

Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that Major League Baseball is expected to present to the MLBPA soon a proposal that will include what the season will look like if spring training 2.0 began in June and the regular season in July. The proposal could be presented as soon as the end of this week and no later than early next week, per Sherman. It doesn't necessarily mean the season beginning in early July is likely or even possible, but the planning needs to begin now in the event that the most optimistic scenario plays out. There are many things that need to be worked out, including how the players will be paid. The players already agreed to give up 1/162nd of their base pay for each regular season game lost, but MLB is expected to ask them to take additional cuts if, as expected, games are played with no fans in the stands.
